Nestled along the banks of the Ohio River surrounded by rolling foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Ashland is a city in Boyd County, Kentucky. Formerly known as Poage Settlement, Ashland occupies approximately 12 square miles and is home to more than 21,000 people. As the second largest city within the Huntington-Ashland, WV-KY-OH, Metropolitan Statistical Area, Ashland serves as a significant economic and medical center for northeast Kentucky. Recreational, leisure, athletic and cultural activities are abound in Ashland. The historic Paramount Arts Center, in particular, serves as an important venue for the arts in eastern Kentucky and the surrounding states of Ohio and West Virginia. Built in 1930, the Paramount Arts Center was one of the first transitional theatres built for "talking pictures".

The city's early industrial growth was a result of Ohio's pig iron industry. It was not until 1854, that growth began with the charter of the Kentucky Iron, Coal and Manufacturing Company. Major industrial employers in the early 1900s included Armco, Ashland Oil and Refining Company, C&O Railroad, Allied Chemical and Dye Company's Semet Solvay and Mansbach Steel.
